Migration, Latent Population, Epidemic situation of COVID-19Abstract
The latent population is a major problem affecting the efficiency of large-scale urban management. Therefore, the research purposes were to compare the number and distribution of the latent population before the epidemic situation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the current situation, then to study patterns and objectives of latent population migration that determine the specific latent population group as those who work in establishments and area agencies of Pattaya and 4 districts, nearby areas in Bang Lamung, Chonburi. Two sets of questionnaires with confidence were used in both versions of 0.89 and 0.82, respectively. Data were collected by survey and questionnaire from April 2022 to August 2022, and analyzed using frequency distribution statistics, percentage, and creating a map of the number and distribution. The results of the study found that before the COVID-19, the passive population was active in 6,233 areas, in one-sixth (17.81%) of 445,081 people, spreading out in district 3, which were mostly hotels and other types of accommodation. However, working places were reduced to 4,714 places, in 1/7.5 (13.47%) and people were also reduced to 246,240, which showed a large migration out of Pattaya, 78.72% with the aim of temporarily returned to original settlements and would return when the disease situation eases. Therefore, it is an urgent policy of Pattaya city planning for a new wave of latent population influx and expedite measures to prevent problems and negative impacts covering all dimensions, including the use of population data in planning the development of Pattaya public services.
